No it works!

I had everything right with lay options, but there is another setting in customizing -> project thumbnails ->

Thank you!

@arminunruh said in Start gif/video mouse hover in project thumbnail:

i understood it like this:
you want an image present as your thumbnail. when you mouseover, the image gets hidden and a video is shown.

This is correct + video always starts from beginning (works out with your solution) + when the mouse leaves the element again, the image is displayed again.

I've added a video and a mouse hover image correctly, but wordpress doesn't let me remove the standard thumbnail image. maybe this is the problem? When I mousehover, I can shortyl see the mouseover image, but it doesn't display there from the beginning.

You can see it here https://davidjascha.com/

The thumbnail I'm talking about is the one top left.

Thank you for your support!

@arminunruh

thank you for your answer! There is just one thing I'm missing and I think I didn't explain it well.

What I'm looking for is:

1. There is just the photo thumbnail.
2. Mouse hover -> video thumbnail starts to play
3. Mouse hover off (I mean that I move the cursor away from the thumb) -> photo thumbnail will be seen again.
4. Again mouse hover -> video thumbnails starts to play again, but again from the start.

I think your method almost works. Do I understand it right that it reverses the function of the mouse hover effect?

@arminunruh Is there an option to have the video thumbnails return to the first frame when the cursor leaves the video area? Even better would be the option to always show the image thumbnail until you move the cursor above the image which activates the video thumbnail. Do you think you can add this functionality? Thank you!
